    Yes, mostly because Manchuria which is in a similar situation would also be fiscally healthy if Zhang Tso-lin would stop trying to take over the entire north. (Right now Manchuria is also in the green money wise despite what Zhang is spending on his military) Fiscally speaking the 1915-1917...

    August 1923 Jun's efforts to prepare for the mid autumn festival were conspicuous this year... more so than usual given all the fuss and ruckus going about. Maybe that was even the point. The lower house had reiterated, rather unnecessarily given precedent, that train robbery was a felonious...

    I can elucidate more on this later but the issue with Japanese militarism getting out of hand starts with the triple intervention it’s what really starts the problem of the kwantung army s disiciplinary problems and ignoring Tokyo general hq And on the navy side you had battleship officers who...

    August 1923 The panel had enjoined over lunch to contend with the continuing fall out over the train seizure in Lingchen back in early May. It was a conversation which took away from what otherwise would have dominated their discussions... which was to say the army and all the changes which had...

    Right and here, Xian's 3 Inch gun as the default tank weapon going forward, which we will start covering soon-ish is driven by it being the default [starting point] field gun size in service and everything else at this point (i.e. 105 and 122mm) being way too large to fit in an enclosed turret...

    Manchuria falls to Japan for most of the same institutional reasons it did OTL, and Xian basically writes it off 'can't do anything about it' more so than 'not China', the problem is that that Kwantung Army in Manchuria was already out of control operationally (ignoring Tokyo GHQ, because...

    August 1923 His attention turned away from the papers, even as Colonels and Generals continued to study the ones in front of them. The 1st was ready and mobilized. If something happened they were prepared for it and the men were experienced. They had that advantage over Black Jack even though in...

    August 1923 The stamping machine came down thousands of tons of weight driven by steam pressure. The die held the part shape which was made by the weight of the machine's action. It was the die the mold which was the important part of the machine though because in contrast to older machines this...

    July 1923 Allen had gotten on a train the Friday evening, and arrived at Lhasa station this morning after a brief day stop at Qinghai. The Lake though had a permanent cadre presence though, and with Hodges's passing Tibet did not. Hodges had of course retired...

    July 1923 Xian's discussions ... well the public eye was somewhere else entirely than the issue that dominated in Shanghai, and Tietsin. It had only been a matter of time before the broader General Staff started adding their opinions to the talk. That Bill had not opened his study with oh the...

    June 1923 Li's grasp as president of the republic had always been tenuous. He'd been a compromise candidate for the Beiyang and the last few months would have been trying for anyone. Truth be told his choice had still been controversial given he had invited the pony tail general into the capital...

    Erastus 4715 Eire surveyed the Tuskwater from the promontory, indeed from the perch he normally came to enjoy the view.
